99mTc-sestamibi uptake in rat skeletal muscle and heart: Physiological determinants and correlations
(2009)The lipophilic cationic radiotracer 99mTc-sestamibi, known to be concentrated within mitochondria, is widely used for myocardial perfusion and to a lesser extent for muscle metabolism imaging. However, the exact distribution ... -
Achieving sustainable financial transactions under regimes without a central bank—an intertemporal comparison
(2021)In this paper, by performing an intertemporal comparison, we investigate two monetary policy regimes where a central bank is absent, and we further refer on the mechanisms they developed so as to ensure the reliability of ... -
ACTH vs betamethasone for the treatment of acute gout in hospitalized patients: A randomized, open label, comparative study
(2018)Background: Hospitalized patients usually have significant comorbidities and receive multiple medications which leads to a high frequency of contraindications to standard treatment options for acute gout (NSAIDs, colchicine, ... -
Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition
(2019)Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ... -
Adhesion Prevention to Polypropylene Meshes Using Combined Icodextrin Four Percent and Dimetindene Maleate
(2019)Background: The use of surgical meshes in ventral hernia repair has significantly reduced hernia recurrence rates. However, when placed intraperitoneally prosthetic materials can trigger the development of peritoneal ... -
Amiodarone plus Ranolazine for Conversion of Post-Cardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation: Enhanced Effectiveness in Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients
(2018)Purpose: Ranolazine (RAN) added to amiodarone (AMIO) has been shown to accelerate termination of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients without heart failure (HF). ... -
Analysis of the quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials in anticoagulant versus antiplatelet medication for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis as governed by the CONSORT statement
(2021)Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard research in evaluating healthcare interventions. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement improves the quality of RCTs in an evidence-based ... -
Anatomical Differences Between Intact and Ruptured Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
(2020)Purpose: To compare different anatomical characteristics between intact and ruptured large abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA >80 mm) with the goal of refining the process of estimating rupture risk. Materials and Methods: ... -
Anatomy Learning from Prosected Cadaveric Specimens Versus Plastic Models: A Comparative Study of Upper Limb Anatomy
(2020)Human cadaveric prosections are a traditional, effective, and highly appreciated modality of anatomy learning. Plastic models are an alternative teaching modality, though few studies examine their effectiveness in learning ... -
Anatomy learning from prosected cadaveric specimens versus three-dimensional software: A comparative study of upper limb anatomy
(2018)Introduction: Modern, three-dimensional (3D) anatomy software is a promising teaching method, though few studies examine its effectiveness on upper limb and musculoskeletal anatomy learning. The purpose of this study is ... -
The annual direct costs of stable COPD in Greece
(2018)Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) places a major burden on health care systems and has substantial economic effects; however, the cost of stable disease in Greece has never been thoroughly explored. ... -
Answer to controversy: miR-10a replacement approaches do not offer protection against chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity in mouse model
(2019)It is well known that chemotherapeutic agents may lead to premature ovarian failure and infertility. Therefore, fertility preservation is highly recommended for female cancer survivors. Despite the currently available ... -
